A couple coworkers started calling me Randipedia here at the office because I would just spout off knowledge and facts w/o looking them up, rather quickly on the spot and on a broad range of topics... I was going to use that as names else where, but I didn't like the way that name looks when typed out.. so, I modified it to Human Wiki.

-- I tend to have a surplus of random useless knowledge about things common and obscure.. I've been in several different fields and careers, have many hobbies, etc... and I just general like the questions of "who/what/when/where/how/why"...

You sure seem to love the "where" questions.

...and, that's what I get for trying to talk to someone else while typing..

So my last name is Toohey. People mispronounce it all the time (They tend to say TooHAY). I started telling people it is pronounced like 1-e 2-e 3-e 4-e. I even would sometimes write it out as 2E. Being in the military, my buddy decided to translate that to phonetics, hence two echo. TADA!

Mercuryman96 was my handle on my very first hotmail account, even before I had a computer. I use nothing but Mercury outboards, similar to my devotion to GM products. This is the first forum I have participated in. I lurked in the weeds reading C5 from the start. Started participating in April of 09 when my baby was stuck hopelessly in Area 51. Now I am hooked.

In college (the first time I went), I was a skirt chaser. I couldn't get enough of women. I once tried to holla' at a sista' from a sorority who told me that I could not talk to her unless I was a member of her brother fraternity, or was a little brother to her sorority. I had seen the big brothers pledging and that did not look like fun so I decided to go the little brother route.

When you pledge, they give you a special shirt that you had to wear everyday with your pledge name on it. The girls got to choose the pledge name you were stuck with. At 18 years old, I must admit that I had quite the body and the girls took one look at my butt and viola! Junkman was born (they said I had a lot of junk in my trunk). The 2008 is my Marine boot camp platoon number. Combine the two and you get "Junkman2008".

It's even on my hood liner now.
